Ws mcr 7.62 by 39

I don't think anyone has done a review of the True North Arms upper and lower in a complete rifle yet. If you can't find any MCR or WK in 7.62x39 mm for sale, TNA has all the WK parts available to make a 7.62x39mm WK with an adjustable gas block and rifle length port on the barrel. You could get them to make you a complete 7.62x39 mm rifle with their new upper and lower, requesting they dial the gas to your standard ammo if possible, and give us a community review
Alternatively, if you have parts from a prohibited rifle sitting around, Sylvestre will be bringing in Jard J180 kits with larger bolt faces for 7.62x39 mm. This rifle uses a gas tube to impinge the 180 bolt carrier, so any length of gas tube port can be used with an adjustable gas block. Not sure what the ETA on the large faced kits are; they focused on .556 to take advantage of those safe queens first.
Man Ustauk you’re all over these threads with helpful info
Appreciate your comment man, thanks eh
I emailed tna back in the summer asking about an MCR x39 upper, was told to hold they were working on something
Probably their lower
I’ll email and just have them build me a full rifle…just wanted something to swap uppers quickly on my spec180 lower
Ah well

I was just thinking the same thing
Yes, probably.
So what I'm saying is that if they are getting stuck cases after 80 rounds of dirty, steel cased surplus, they could very well have a problem with their chamber, so even if they cranked up the gas being directed to the piston, that would likely only mask the underlying issues (with the chamber).
I would agree. My WK180C in 7.62x39 has run through 400 rounds in a single range session with no issues
Has their been any word on whether a TNA upper will run on an MCR lower?
No info on that yet. I didn’t specifically ask that question, my question to them was when will an actual Mcr upper in x39 be a reality. They said something like December for their barrels to come in, I left it at that because I sent off a few emails and posted in their main thread a few times asking if they can do a x39 upper for me, 4 times I think?
Hey guys,
Was out to the range today and put cheap chinese tuna can corrosive surplus through my 7.62 MCR, as well as new production norinco steel cased and barnaul. There were no stuck casings or malfunctions of any kind (excepting 3 light primer strikes on the surplus, which when rechambered did fire) through roughly 200 rounds of corrosive chinese and a couple mags of the barnaul and new norc. I would like to mention that I bought this rifle used and the previous owner reported ~1000 trouble free barnaul through it. Other notes about this particular rifle is that the trigger is a geissele and I used 4 XCR pistol mags.
Hope this helps anyone considering this rifle, would HIGHLY recommend only running corrosive in large doses since the cleanup was a major pain, especially the gas piston system.
